Thanks for the input.

i've asked around & suprisingly it's suppose to be cheaper than the 5986. maybe around rm330, at legend at least. the explanation is that there are some 'features' lacking in the 5996 compared to the 5986.

sigh, i set my HDMI DVD to 1080p and now my TV screen goes blank.., try unplugged the DVD's power cord to cancel the setting but it won't work.. even trying to switch off my TV and it won't work either..now i am blank with no idea what to do...anyone can guide me thru please, i went thru the manual and follow it instruction and press Standby and Backward to reset to 576p/480p but not working also..i might have missed something..anyone got DV600 and encountered this problem before please help me out... thank you

U can try to connect ur dvd to tv using composit out ( yellow rca ) & from tv display set back the setting.
Hope this help!

Haha thanks to u and htkaki,..problem solved!!

May i know the detail differences?

found 5996 at KLIAV @ RM360, plann to buy it tomorow..got cheaper ka?

I just come back from the KLAV. Where did you see the 5996 at RM360?

At the grond floor I saw 5986 and also 5996 at Desa Petaling Electric I think. But the boy over there said that the 5986 he can give me RM360 and for 5996 he can give me RM 380. The difference between 5986 and the 5996 that I saw was that the 5996 can play SACD. I dont know whether I'm going to use that feature or not.

So I think I better go for the 5986. What do u guys thing.

5996 design is surely better than 5986

Added on July 28, 2008, 1:20 amhey...i got this too...but i guess my new philips 5996 will replace this...coz my hd65 got hdmi input...so very gatal to use the input...haha

actually the AGIP is not too bad for the price...too bad it can't really upscale some ori dvds...set some of these dvds to 720p...it'd still go back to 576i...but pic still good though

Pioneer DVDP is always rich in colour. I have 2 units, DV-676A and DV-400S. Both churn out nice PQ compare to Sony and Tosh. No chance to test Philips though.

Technically it should be the same because Pioneer and Sony are both using the Mediatek chip, PQ should be sebiji the same. What I don't like about Pioneer, it's not as reliable as last time, the lens usually fail after 1-2 years. Have a few friends with the same problem.

i have check with the L shop last week and they said 5996 have yet to be released . RM 330 is for the 5986 model lah

the one i bought at klaav show is a philips dvp 5996k...maybe i'm the lucky few

How much did you buy it?

Really ? I tot it is out already ? L shop still holding the old stock ?
